The New Grass Valley at BroadcastAsia 2014

(BroadcastAsia, Singapore--May 7, 2014) Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, the latest addition to the Belden Inc. portfolio of best-in-class communications technology brands, will exhibit its comprehensive range of innovative live production, news production and playout technologies on Stand 5B3-01 at BroadcastAsia 2014, being held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, June 17-20.

The stability and influence of Belden, a proven, strategic presence in the broadcast space, makes the new Grass Valley future-ready to scale and provide a level of support to the market that can’t be matched. The following solutions, demonstrating Grass Valley’s Future-Ready commitment, will be on display in Singapore.

“BroadcastAsia 2014 is especially exciting for Grass Valley this year as it’s our first as part of the Belden family,” said Stephen Wong, Grass Valley’s vice president, APAC. “Visitors to our stand will see that our solutions portfolio provides them unparalleled benefits from production through delivery – allowing them to tell better stories, to a wider audience, across many platforms while optimizing their operations using new techniques, such as cloud technology and IP connectivity.”

Live ProductionCameras
Grass Valley’s new LDX XtremeSpeed 6X ultra slow-motion camera - one of four recent additions to its LDX range - is an easily integrated, high-speed live production camera based on Grass Valley’s proprietary Xensium-FT CMOS imager, which delivers superb picture quality, high sensitivity and high dynamic range for a wide variety of production applications.

The LDX WorldCam multiformat camera system will also be demonstrated in conjunction with the Copperhead 3404K camera-mountable transceiver. The Copperhead 3404K requires only two strands of fiber optic cable to carry all bi-directional signals, including four 3Gb/s HD/SDI paths, from camera to truck or control room.

Replay
The added advantage of Grass Valley’s LDX cameras is that they operate in tandem with the company’s K2 Dyno Replay System (consisting of the K2 Dyno S Replay Controller and K2 Summit 3G Production Client), which provide ultra-smooth playback at any speed from 0 percent to 200 percent, dramatically expanding replay storytelling options. Market-leading GV STRATUS Nonlinear Media Production Tools will also be key components of Grass Valley’s BroadcastAsia 2014 replay solution demo.
